So this happened this weekend. First aid cabinet go boom! Ever since we posted these little pics of the bathroom, after we first painted it a minty green, I knew that I wanted to fill that empty space above the toilet paper holder with a first aid cabinet. So the other day, when I went … Read more
To prove to my daddy that I’m not a fool. Wait…let’s start over…without a Billy Madison quote. Here we go. You know what’s scary? Oooh…oooh…I know that one…sharks! Or the Robertson family on vacation in Hawaii (not gonna lie…I’m currently sucked into the Duck Dynasty marathon that’s on A&E right now). Nope…those things aren’t nearly … Read more
So last night I whipped out my glue gun…and made us a little toothbrush holder for our recently refreshed bathroom (you can check out some of the bathroom posts including painting the bathroom mint, finding an old buffet on Craigslist to turn into a vanity, how we hacked the buffet, and then painted it, and … Read more
I would like to say that I skipped yesterday’s blog post because I was having an unplugged, radio silence day in honor of Earth Day…but that would be a lie. Nope…I skipped yesterday’s blog post because I got sucked into a Community watching marathon with Colby. Sometimes a girl just needs a little Troy and … Read more
And this time not to each other (been there…done that…maybe someday after I sift through thousands of amazing photos you’ll get to read about it too). But this hitching relates to plumbing…bathroom plumbing…and how we cut a hole in the back of our Craigslist buffet find turned bathroom vanity and hitched up the plumbing. Teeth … Read more
Occasionally, the Colb-ster has some pretty impeccable ideas for the blog. Creativity really isn’t his strong suit so when he comes up with some shear creative brilliance, I usually capitalize on that. In this case, we were discussing our gardening projects and suggested that I do a little blog series about our veggie garden throughout … Read more
It took us a couple of weeks, but we recently took our bathroom from this: To this: Boom! And might I remind you that it used to look like this: Double boom! Any excuse to whip out that picture. Man…our bathroom was a whole lotta ugly! And cramped. Opening it up and removing all the … Read more
So we’ve shown you the progress we made with the bathroom vanity(a Craigslist buffet find, that we modified, and then painted Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore) but we haven’t yet shown you the bathroom progress. Game day bucket go boom: We’ve been busy bees. Can you tell?! We not only removed the “temporary”, been there … Read more
Let’s just file this post under random purchases for $100 Alex. Oh…but they changed Jeopardy and there is no longer a $100 category…I rephrase…let’s file this post under random purchases for $200 Alex. Not that I spent $200…more like $66.48. Anyway, after returning home from our Puerto Rico adventure, we’re talking immediately after returning home … Read more
Ding dong the witch is dead vanity is done. And all it took was two solid weekends of priming and painting. I wish I was kidding. And of course, in true Angie fashion, I anticipated total painting time of about four hours max…wrong! More like four hours max just to prime the body of the thing! … Read more
This weekend was an absolute whirlwind of house project goodness. Sawdust was blowing, paint was flying, there’s sheet rock dust in my hair, and we made a super mess of our house. Big mess typically equals major house project progress. So this week we’ll be spending some time cleaning up our messes and blogging about … Read more
Tonight’s original post was to dish all about “how to hack a buffet to turn it into a bathroom vanity”. But after yesterday’s March monthly roundup, and realizing how construction heavy it was (read…one serious lack of light, fun, and decorator-ie projects) I scraped the post-plan and am bringing you a little mirror story…a pretty … Read more
This past weekend, I spent some serious time painting the bathroom vanity that we found via Craigslist. And I’m sure you’re all a little bit curious about the paint colors, not just for the vanity but for the entire bathroom makeover. After a series careful deliberations, Colby and I finally decided on pink…bubblegum pink. You … Read more
Get your bibs, napkins, and spit up cloths out folks, because you’re about to drool. We’re gonna make it rain…make it rain drool. Maybe not really. I’ll probably be the only one drooling over the chicken mofongo and beach beers. But regardless of your drooling propensity, today’s post is all about what we ate (and … Read more
That’s right folks, we bought a piece of furniture that we found via Craigslist and…GASP…lived! Can you believe that we were Craigslist virgins and that this was our first find? It’s not that I haven’t been trying. I just keep getting rejected! It’s like the dating world all over again! Boy am I glad that … Read more
I have so many alternative titles for this post, or sub titles, most of them totally inappropriate for a PG-13 blog. Here, let me help you get your mind into the gutter….we were on our honeymoon…”what we did in Puerto Rico”…are you in the gutter yet? Anyway, today’s the second installment of our Puerto Rican … Read more
